Crocheted Apple

Created By: Elizabeth Daudelin
Pattern Source: other:

I made this for a professor of mine, and it turned out really nice. The pattern was for free on Michaels.com, but just now when I went to check, it's gone from the site. Thankfully, I copied the pattern into a word document, so here it is in case anyone would be interested. :)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Finish stuffing Apple. Thread tail through rem sts and draw tightly. Gently shape work to look like an apple. [Here I threaded the tail up through the stuffing out the top of the apple, then pushed it back down again and pulled it nice and tight before tying it off and hiding the remaining tail inside the apple to create the indents on the top and bottom and keep the shape secure. I then also embroidered a french knot out of the reddish brown yarn I used for the stem into the middle of the bottom of the apple.]
